Calling Bobwhite Quail
Keith Mueller (b. 1956)
Killingworth, CT, c. 2020
12 in. tall
A life-size calling bobwhite quail carving mounted on a carved and painted stump in the grass. Mueller used this elaborate upland species as a model to demonstrate his mastery of fine feather paint detail. The anatomically accurate carving illustrates the maker's attention to detail and thorough knowledge of and passion for ornithology. The underside of the hardwood base is signed with both the maker's oval brands.
Mueller shares his thoughts on this work: "The life-size decorative Bobwhite Quail is carved in a calling position perched on a pine stump. The crest feathers, the bill, and the tongue are carved separately from American dogwood and inserted. The quail is painted with oil paints to accentuate the fine brush painted details. The wood for the base is peach wood to compliment the composition of the calling quail."
Original paint with minimal wear.
